In Part 2 of this Kopi Sessions series, we ask how work pass abuse and illegal deployment is allowed to happen in Singapore, and why deceived workers may not speak up.

This issue extends beyond Employment Passes to S Passes and Training Employment Passes. It raises urgent questions about recruitment processes, checks on work pass applications, and whether our work pass system reflects actual labour needs. Watch and let us know what you think!

If you know of, or are a migrant worker in need of assistance please call or whatsapp our helplines:

Multiple a mashed devices and fish-sauced soaked clothes and documents 💢

Look how our shelter residents found their belongings when they went to retrieve them at their employers' homes.

People like this shouldn’t be allowed to hire domestic workers! And yet, there was nothing our residents could do.

What do you make of this?

HOME wishes a Happy Deepavali to all those who celebrate, especially our migrant worker sisters and brothers spending this festive period far from home 🪔

We would like to warmly thank the Indian Women’s Association () for thursday’s festive activities of decoration-crafting and dancing, as well as catering a delicious biryani lunch, at our Shelter for Women Migrant Workers. Our shelter team and residents had a great time!

At our shelter, we provide free lodging, meals, activities, counselling and casework assistance to women migrant workers. Beyond providing a place to stay, we hope to foster a supportive shelter community where residents can share responsibilities, build connections and support one another, while retaining their independence and autonomy.

Managers and Executives on paper. In reality, they prepare in-flight catering, deliver parcels, work at coffeeshops and do laundry 🧐

The SATS’ Employment Pass abuse debacle at Changi Airport goes well beyond baggage handling ✈️ From Changi to Tuas, HOME has assisted workers caught in deceptive arrangements involving Employment Passes, S Passes and Training Employment Passes. And this issue is not new: we have raised these cases with MOM since late 2025.

Many paid S$6,000–S$10,000 in recruitment fees for a chance to work in Singapore. Instead, they faced unpaid wages, excessive working hours and poor living conditions.

In this Kopi Sessions, we unpack how workers are deceived, and why many are afraid to speak up. In subsequent videos, we will share what happens when workers seek help, and what needs to change.

If you are a migrant worker who needs help, please call or whatsapp our helplines:

This month, join us at the 4th edition of our Annual Trashion Show, where migrant domestic worker upcycle trash into wearable art. Organised by Filipino domestic worker collective, Kaugnay, this year's theme is Under the Sea, inspired by the outfit of last year's grand winner, Irene Acuña 🐙🐠🫧⭐

The Trashion Show is a highly collaborative process, often with multiple people working together on a single outfit. The materials are collected from their households and workplaces — excess materials such as coffee pods, scraps of fabric from old clothes or sheets, rice bags, and even treated fruit skins are transformed into wearable creations 👗👖👕👢

Alongside the pageant-style showcase, there will also be performances from different HOME Family community groups and UWC students! 🪩

When:
1–5pm, Sunday, 22 Nov 2026

Where:
The Roy Bennett Theatre, UWC Dover
Level 2, 1207 Dover Rd, 139654

Free for all to attend! Simply RSVP by filling in the form linked to the QR code in the poster, or search 🔗 tinyurl.com/RSVPTrashion4 👈

Last month, over 50 migrant workers showcased cultural costumes in the National Costume and Culture Show.

Thank you to our staff and volunteer organisers, participants, performers, venue and audience for making this incredible showcase of creativity possible.

Some of the participants donned the traditional costumes of their cultures, while others took a more creative approach, presenting their interpretation of one that they resonate with.

This reel showcases the outfits of the winners of our pageant show and a few more honourable mentions!

Meet Fira, a former resident at HOME's Shelter for Women Migrant Workers. She had come to Singapore from Indonesia about two months ago to work as a Domestic Worker, but was met with an abusive employer. She found refuge, community support, counselling and casework assistance at our shelter, and has recently gone back to Indonesia.

Located at the shelter is our Domestic Worker Helpdesk, which assists ~500 residents and ~1,200 total workers, including calls to our helplines, per year with their cases.

Help us sustain our Migrant Worker, Migrant Domestic Worker and Sunday Helpdesks in 2027. We aim to raise $250,000 by 31 December 2026*, with every donation matched 50% by the Tote Board, up to $125,000.

Donate today at www.home.org.sg/donate or through the link in our bio.

In its latest United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR), Singapore supported 243 out of 342 recommendations. Yet more than half of these recommendations were to “continue” the status quo or “consider” further action. More significantly, Singapore did not support recommendations to extend Employment Act and Work Injury Compensation Act protections to domestic workers. The Government cited the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (EFMA) as a customised framework that better meets their protection needs. Does it really?

Migrant domestic workers still have no statutory limits on working hours, no statutory entitlement to overtime pay, and no guaranteed paid annual leave or paid public holidays.
